Postpartum Planning Essentials

A transformative on-demand course that gives new and
expecting parents a comprehensive postnatal care plan.

Why Do I Need a Postpartum Plan?

Many couples spend more time researching their next car than preparing for life after birth.

Postpartum planning is often an afterthought, with the assumption that they’ll “figure it out” when the baby arrives. But what happens when sleep deprivation, mood shifts, or unexpected tension hit at once?

The reality is:

Postpartum mood disorders
Birth trauma
Exhaustion
And relationship strain

…are common—and often preventable with the right support in place.

Factors like older maternal age, limited sleep, unrealistic social pressures, and a lack of structural support make these challenges even harder to navigate.

That’s why this course exists.

Postpartum Planning Essentials offers a clear, practical roadmap through the first months of parenthood—so you’re not forced to figure it out in the fog of sleep deprivation.

If Mother's aren't good, then no one is good.

The wellbeing of the Mother shapes the wellbeing of the whole family.

Postpartum planning isn’t a luxury—it’s foundational.

This course bridges the care gap that so many couples experience by providing a proactive approach to the physical, emotional, and relational shifts that come with early parenthood.

What Makes This Course Different?

We don’t just talk about nappy changes and meal prep.

✔️ We centre the Mother—and the relationship—as vital parts of a healthy postpartum plan.

✔️ We speak directly to both parents—not just Mothers.

✔️ We name the real relational shifts that occur after a baby—and how to move from romantic love into mature partnership.
